  Gwyn hesitated. A Legend Vampire was considered a Duke.

  Marvin turned and suggested unhappily, “What if the Dark Side already made preparations to launch an all-out war against the Bright Side?”

  Gwyn froze.

  But at that time, Marvin happily said, “It’s this door!”

  “Your luck is pretty good, you can live a bit longer.”

  He quickly moved toward the 3rd door and gently pushed the button.

  “Du! Du! Du! Du!”

  A beeping sound echoed as the door slowly rose up, and a few rays of light leaked out from inside.

  Marvin didn’t wait and went in. Gwyn clenched his teeth and took off his cloak before throwing it toward another door.

  Although he wasn’t very convinced with Marvin’s words, that Pale Hand indeed felt dangerous to him.

  The two went through the stone door, and then Marvin kicked the button on the side.

  The button cracked and broke and then an explosion could be heard as the entrance loudly fell to the ground!

  …

  The loud sound echoed down the tunnel, startling everyone.

  “What happened?”

  “What about Mister Kerry and Mister Gwyn?”

  They had just left the tunnel and had arrived at the Crystal Hall.

  The Pale Hand looked solemnly into the distance, before suddenly disappearing.

  Meanwhile, everyone was stunned as a huge crystal appeared in front of them.

  All the adventurers showed a greedy look!

  This was a pure crystal. Even if it was cut up to be brought back, it would still be priceless!

  Many of them silently went to surround it.

  But at that time, illusions began to emerge from the crystal.

  They began to lose themselves in them.

  …

  Behind the stone door, Marvin was looking at the three treasure chests in front of him cheerfully while thinking to himself, ‘Sure enough, I remembered correctly. Treasures were behind the door with the engraving of the Sun God’s mark.’

  ‘The other doors should all be trapped!’

  He didn’t hold back as he went up to the first jeweled chest, took out a Lockpick scroll and ripped it apart.

  The lid of the treasure chest creaked open in response.

  After Marvin opened the treasure chest, he dodged subconsciously.

  Just as expected, a terrifying spurt of acid splashed over, which Marvin easily avoided. As for the absent-minded Gwyn, he was almost hit!

  Fortunately, his reaction speed was also extremely fast, so he still managed to dodge out of the way.

  But sadly, a few droplets splashed onto the fringe of his clothes, leaving him rather glum.

  Seeing this scene, Marvin was silently contemplative.

  Not only was that Vampire extremely beautiful like a woman, but his actions were also quite similar.

  ‘He wouldn’t be a woman in disguise would he?’ Marvin thought.

  Of course, he was more concerned about the treasure chest.

  There shouldn’t be any trap mechanisms aside from the acid, so he opened the chest all the way, revealing a few scattered pieces of equipment. Most of them were Common, but Marvin happily found the thing he wanted:

  [Rosenthal Bracelets]

  [Quality: Magic]

  [Property: All Ranger skills +20]

  …

  Despite only having one effect and not looking very eye-catching, it was actually the best equipment for the current Marvin!

  With Eriksson’s Brooch, his Stealth already reached 180 points!

  But regretfully, his free skill points were already used up, and he would have to level his Ranger class to get more.

  But to advance to Ruler of the Night, Marvin wanted to prioritize his Night Walker class. Thus it would take a while before his Ranger class would be leveled again.

  Of course, he could still improve his Stealth through tempering, but it would be very slow, especially as it got higher.

  Marvin had been on the lookout for equipment with similar properties. Unfortunately, when Owl raided the Evil Spirit Overlord’s treasury, he didn’t find any good equipment with bonuses for Stealth. He found some stuff that was almost fitting, but it was more suitable for Thief and Assassin classes, rather than a Ranger like Marvin.

  Thus, he always felt so close to the 200 threshold, but couldn’t take the last step.

  Now with the Rosenthal Bracelets, not only did he successfully pass that threshold, but his other Ranger skills also obtained a major upgrade!

  Marvin’s capabilities once again had a qualitative leap!

  Stealth (200) automatically gave him the hidden effect [Stealth Master]!

  This meant that Marvin could now freely run while in Stealth without being discovered!

  Marvin estimated that with his frightening Night Walker skills, he already had the assassination strength of a Legend even though he was still Level 18!

  …

  After putting on the Rosenthal Bracelets, Marvin ignored the young Vampire’s worried expression and proceeded to open the other chests, which held a large amount of treasure.

  One chest was filled with blueprints. These blueprints were like the Mechanical Gargoyle blueprint he found before.

  Marvin rummaged through it, and found a lot of the scientific blueprints of the Ancient Gnomes. Could there be a steam engine prototype among them?

  The contents were mostly a chaotic mess. He would need a Master Alchemist to identify them.

  Marvin got a headache when he thought of needing to find a Master Alchemist. To be honest, ever since he transmigrated, he’d had a lot of close calls.

  But he wasn’t an all-rounder Fighter. Because he chose to be an Assassin in his previous life, he also suitably chose Pharmacist as a Life Class. Since he took Blacksmith as a Life Class this time, it would be impossible to become an Alchemist now.

  There was still a lack of Alchemy talent in his territory. Even though Constantine had asked his friend to give a hand with processing the Red Dragon and Black Dragon after the harvesting, that wasn’t White River Valley’s Alchemist.

  Processing the Dragons’ corpses could still be outsourced. However, the knowledge of the Gnomes was a kind of secret that Marvin hoped to monopolize.

  But sadly, besides that one outstanding performance against Bamboo, the nameless Alchemist only had failures.

  Marvin was relatively magnanimous. If it was another ordinary Overlord, he would have already thrown him out!

  ‘Damn, when I get back, I need to use good salaries to dig up a few craftsmen from the Craftsman Tower.’

  ‘When the time comes, I’ll need to get Leymann to help me negotiate.’

  Marvin put away those blueprints while thinking about how to deal with them.

  In the Three Ring Towers, the Craftsman Tower’s Tower Master was very young. Although he didn’t have the strength of a Legend, he couldn’t be disregarded.

  The reason was very simple. Even if his magic power wasn’t equal to a Legend Wizard’s, he was the one with the most Legendary Items!

  It was said that this guy had previously been a Tomb Raider, specialized in plundering ancient Legend Wizards’ tombs, so he had many precious items in his hands.

  Strengthening oneself wasn’t the only important part for battles; external forces were also very important!

  The Craftsman Tower was the Alchemists’ paradise. And Wizard Craftsmen were the most powerful branch of Alchemists.

  If he could lure a few top Wizard Craftsmen to become part of White River Valley, then Marvin could boldly gather the Ancient Gnomes’ knowledge.

  At that time, White River Valley’s technology would be a bit strange.

  One one side there would be the mechanical structures of the Gnomes, while on the other side they’d have the Shas�
� firearms. Wayne was currently opening up the path to a complete new way of training for Wizards, and Marvin was getting treasures from all over Feinan. And after the Great Calamity, White River Valley would be able to protect itself because because of the Source of Fire’s Order.

  Those people losing their minds from the Calamity wouldn’t dare approach the Source of Fire’s Order for some time. This gave White River Valley the opportunity to develop.

  Naturally, Marvin’s plan didn’t stop there.

  Besides the Source of Fire’s Order, he also wanted to set up an [Ancient Refuge]!

  Therefore, when he found a light yellow shard among the jewels in the 3rd chest, he was inevitably overjoyed!

  An Earth Crystal’s fragment!

  It was already the second.

  Three fragments could form a complete Earth Crystal.

  And an Earth Crystal was the most important foundation to set up an Ancient Refuge!

  …

  In the Crystal Hall, the adventurers were mired in the illusions.

  Only Pale Hand Sky’s expression didn’t change. His willpower was extremely steady and thus he wasn’t tricked by a mere Nightmare Crystal!

  This was why people said there was a huge difference between ordinary people and Legends. Level 21 was the dividing line.

  The kinds of specialties gained after reaching Legend was something normal people simply couldn’t even strive for.

  Sky’s figure flashed, and he soon arrived in front of the three doors.

  His eyes kept flickering between the three doors as he frowned.

  He then rushed toward the 3rd door and pressed the button!

  But what surprised the Pale Hand was that even though he figured out which was the hidden treasure room and pressed the button, the door didn’t open!

  ‘Did I make a mistake?’

  Sky instinctively sensed something wrong.

  That Kerry guy made him feel uneasy. This was strange since he was a great Legend expert. Why should he be worried about a 4th rank Ranger?

  Sky frowned. He had some understanding toward Saruha, but he didn’t know much more than the Wolf Spider mercenaries.

  Even if he could disregard the Nightmare Crystal, he couldn’t pass through those heavy stone doors.

  He wasn’t a Wizard after all. He didn’t have a spell or any item that would allow him to pass through walls.

  ‘Based on the old map the Wolf Spider mercenaries showed me, there is a small room a short way in that held Gnomish treasures.’

  ‘The Ancient Gnomes were fearless, only respecting the Ancient Sun God, so normally the correct entrance should be this door.’

  ‘Why won’t it open?’

  The Pale Hand frowned. He wasn’t a fool. There was clearly another possibility as to why the door wouldn’t open.

  It was locked from the inside.

  Regardless of the reason, Sky’s plan to easily kill Gwyn had already failed. He had to quickly get through these stone doors, or else who knew where those two so-called scouts would run off to?

  Although the mission couldn’t be completed properly, he also didn’t suffer much of a loss yet. But he did make a solemn vow to take Gwyn’s life in front of the Elder Council, so if he couldn’t manage to do so, his reputation would suffer.

  He turned and glanced at those people engrossed in the luster of the crystal, disdain flashing through his eyes.

  How could these greedy guys deserve to get the Ancient Gnome treasures?

  They couldn’t even pass the most simple willpower test. The following dangers would probably be even harder to handle.

  The only thing that surprised him somewhat was that Rem and Lilia showed signs of waking up even though they had also fallen under the crystal’s charm. This wasn’t an easy matter.

  ‘I already helped them with the Tentacle Horrors. It shouldn’t be a problem if I leave now.’

  After thinking of this, the Pale Hand rushed toward the 2nd stone door and pressed the button!

  “Rumble!”

  The thick and heavy stone door slowly rose, and fire flashed. The next second, a large amount of fire monsters gushed out from the door, flying toward Sky!

  They had human head, Lion’s claws, and Fish lower body.

  [Fire Guardians]!

  Sky cursed and turned to run!

  It wasn’t that he was afraid of these monsters, but there were way too many of them. Even with his Legend resistances, he couldn’t handle an intensive assault from so many Fire Guardians.

  The Pale Hand’s silhouette flashed like lightning, nimbly moving across the hall as the blades in his hands slashed through the air, continuously cutting the heads of the Fire Guardians.

  But it felt as if there was an endless supply of Fire Guardians! They kept pouring out from the room.

  While Sky was busy fighting, he glanced at the end of the hidden room.

  At the end of the hidden room was a deep passage, and on the passage was blocked by a green barrier!

  This was a two-meter thick barrier with a light green spirit flickering inside.

  The Pale Hand’s face instantly turned green!

  ‘Fuck! It’s actually a [Disintegrate] barrier!’

  ‘These wretched Gnomes!’

  He understood dungeon’s mechanism… this Disintegrate barrier definitely would not disappear until he killed all these Fire Guardians.

  And there was close to two hundred of them! Even if Pale Hands were proficient killers, he would need at least ten minutes to clear them out safely!

  These ten minutes were enough for Gwyn and that Kerry to do a lot of things.

  Thinking of this, Sky felt somber.

  …

  In the 3rd room.

  Marvin finished putting all the loot away, satisfied.

  He felt it that this trip to Saruha was already very worthwhile. Just the Gnome Blueprints and the Rosenthal Bracelets were worth the effort, let alone another Earth Crystal fragment.

  At that moment, he and Gwyn heard someone pressing the button by the door.

  For a while, they were able to see through the door, and discovered the person outside.

  The young Vampire blanched, though his skin was pale to begin with.

  Pale Hand Sky!

  From his expression, he was a bit anxious.

  If Gwyn still doubted Marvin at this point, Marvin wouldn’t bother with him any longer.

  But the young Vampire was convinced.

  He asked in a low voice, “Sir Marvin, even though the Dark Side intends to start a war, our Bright Side still wouldn’t be worried. Although they have Legends, regardless the amount or quality, they won’t be our match.”

  “But since you pointed this out to me, you surely have a way to rescue me. If I can avoid the Dark Side’s chase this time, I’ll do my best to satisfy whatever request you have.”

  In fact, Marvin’s strength had always been a mystery to Gwyn.

  After Marvin destroyed the Decaying Plateau, Gwyn had carefully investigated his rise, and the results were shocking.

  He was driven away from his territory by a group of Gnolls, and then passed his days painfully in River Shore City… This was just the fall of some trashy noble.

  Who would have thought that he would rise to greatness one day? It was rumored that Masked Twin Blades, who single-handedly annihilated the Acheron Gang, was one of Marvin’s identities. He then took back his territory, showed his talents in the Battle of the Holy Grail and had multiples conflicts with the Twin Snakes Cult. Later, he was even more fierce as he destroyed the Decaying Plateau.

  And at that time, because the Twin Snakes Cult made a move on him, “killing” him, they were completely uprooted by a group of angry Legends.

  It was rumored that even the Azure Matriarch far to the north almost died!

  This was a series of outstanding achievem
ents, and was very different from his previous appearance as a destitute noble.

  Gwyn even doubted the two were the same person.

  But regardless, anyone could see that Marvin was powerful and mysterious.

  And even moreso, there was the thing that most didn’t know about. He was Dragon Slayer Robin who tore a Dragon apart with his bare hands!

  But this wasn’t a secret to Gwyn, because when Marvin negotiated for the Dense Blood Nucleus, he saw through his disguise.

  When the information about the Dragon spread, he was utterly shocked. Although he checked and was told that Fate Sorceress Jessica had added her Fate Power to Marvin, tearing a Dragon apart by hand was still an impressive feat. He couldn’t properly estimate the limits of this kind of person!

  In Gwyn’s eyes, even if Marvin wasn’t a Legend, he had the strength of a Legend.

  Since the other party told him the Pale Hand’s goal, he definitely had a way to solve this issue.

  …

  Seeing Gwyn looking at him expectantly, Marvin couldn’t help but mutter strangely, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’ll help you kill that Pale Hand?”

  Gwyn coughed awkwardly. “Even if you can’t, you should know a way to leave Saruha, right?”

  Marvin sneered, “In ordinary circumstances, there is only one way to leave Saruha, which is the scroll in Lilia’s hands.”

  “But clearly, you have another way,” noted Gwyn.

  “I actually do know a secret path to leave Saruha,” Marvin conceded. “It’s just that the secret path is more dangerous, a lot more dangerous than the Tentacle Horrors. If I just take you there to leave, I’ll risk too much for nothing.”

  Gwyn furrowed his brows. “What do you want?”

  Marvin smiled. “Twenty of that kind of Dense Blood Nucleus you had last time.”

  Gwyn immediately turned red, “How could this be…”

  “Just kidding,” Marvin interrupted. “I’ll take three of them with different abilities. Oh right, last time was Low Flight. Remember, don’t give me a duplicate.”

  “Then, after you escape, immediately return to the Bright Side’s headquarters and find Great Duke William.”

  “I want you to do all you can to arrange a meeting for me.”

  Gwyn froze. “A meeting?”
